Why the request is written
When a site needs materials, the request has to land with Hoda in procurement — in writing, with the details. A phone call gets forgotten; a written request gets bought.
It ties back to the BOQ
Every request ties back to the bill of materials. This is the villas’ finishes BOQ — each line is a measured quantity of a specific material, at an agreed rate.
That is the whole point of the BOQ: a tile is priced once and reused, so the site and the QS never quote the same thing differently.
Raising the request
Back in material requests, Tarek raises a fresh one against the villas’ finishes.
He ties it to the BOQ directly, so the line, the quantity and the rate come through with it — no retyping, no transcription error.
The moment it saves, it is logged and mirrored on the board. The whole studio can see it, not just the person Tarek happened to phone.
The handover
Over in procurement, Hoda picks it up. Because it carries the quantity, the date and the location, she can act on it — turn it into a purchase order — without phoning the site back for the details that were missing.
The habit that matters
One habit worth building: raise the request the day you see the need, with the quantity and the date you need it by. A request raised the morning the materials were due yesterday is a request that buys you a delay.
